I've been mostly a debian guy for the past few years and have lost my edge in things RPM. I think it's actually moot at that point, but I could very easily be wrong. For the sake of having it "feel right", I guess you're right and it should be -U in this case, because we're very definitely dealing with an already installed package. Something I'm unclear on, though, and perhaps you can answer me quicker than I can get to a man page, is, is --nodeps implied as well? Or does this also downgrade possible dependencies as well?
